- This is a valid [MIP4c2](https://mips.makerdao.com/mips/details/MIP4#MIP4c2) subproposal, eligible to enter the January Governance Cycle.
- This MIP aims to amend [MIP61: Recognized Delegate Compensation
](https://mips.makerdao.com/mips/details/MIP61) by introducing the following modification to delegate compensation criteria:
    - Abstain votes: Recognized Delegates who vote `Abstain` in over 40% of the Governance Polls they vote on in a given month will be ineligible for delegate compensation in that month.
- It also introduces the following modifications to delegate compensation criteria:
    - Participation score: Recognized Delegates must vote on Executive Proposals or voice their explicit opposition or abstention within 72 hours of them being posted to the voting portal in order for that vote to count towards their participation score.
    - Communication score: In order for a vote to count towards their communication score, Recognized Delegates have one week to communicate their reasoning if they support the Executive, and 72 hours to communicate their decision if they decide not to support it. 
    - Executive Votes are weighted by a factor of five compared to Governance Polls when calculating the participation score.
- This proposal has been assigned High-Impact based on the methodology listed [here](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/introducing-impact-estimations/14267).
